Best diagnostic STARTING place there is, period. Although it was likely frustrating, I bet you never have this problem again. >(except I still can't read the data I burned onto the CD-RW). I never did the CD-RW thing in Linux, just CD-R but I know in Windows, using something like Roxio's "DirectCD" these disks can only be read by this software. They are used as 'swappable drives' in most cases. If this isn't what you're after get some CD-R's and life might be just grand. If not, dunno what to tell you.
